Chapter 49: Death and Monsters
I've heard so many outrageous stories lately, but this one is easily the most ridiculous.
What do you mean by "there is also the possibility of giving birth to ghosts"?
"I'm still underage."
"No, that's not the problem." Black Rose was visibly choked. "This has nothing to do with age. It's mainly because you're a woman from the Jiujing family."
“Oh, but I have a boyfriend.”
"Uh, sister-kun, I think we should not talk about this topic——"
"It doesn't matter if you have a boyfriend. It's not like NTR is not possible."
"Pfft! Black Rose, shut up! Stop talking!"
Hmm? "NTR...what is it?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the two grown men looked at me as if they had seen a ghost.
What are you doing?
"Uh, Jiu, Jiujing sister, are you..."
Before he finished speaking, we all suddenly looked up at the same time. The battle in the sky seemed to be over.
Soon, a figure wearing a white haori appeared under the clouds.
"Toshiro! Are you okay?"
From a distance, he seems to be unharmed. Hmm, but why is he dragging a piece of ice behind him?
"Ah. Sorry, I wanted to capture him alive."
The boy fell from the air with the ice, returned to the roof, and turned sideways.
"I still underestimated that guy's awareness."
Only then did we see clearly that the object remaining in the ice was actually the legs of the monster called Jixiang!
It seems that Dong Shilang originally wanted to use ice to block the guy's ability to move, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a ruthless person. He would rather tear off his legs and survive like a lizard with his tail cut off, rather than be captured alive at this moment.
However, he did show some mercy.
"His healing speed has slowed down. If we chase him now, we might still get something."
"Thanks." Black Rose nodded and turned to leave. "I owe you one."
"As for this," the young man glanced at Bing behind him. "I decided I couldn't leave the monster's remains outside, so I brought them back."
"Uh, thank you, thank you." Qian Liangjun sighed, "I'd better contact Senior Muyun first. Oh, right! Saburo is over there in the shopping street!" He slapped his forehead, "Those guys will definitely attack the izakaya too."
"What?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Wouldn't my brother be in danger? ! "Where is the izakaya?"
"Humura, calm down."
Dong Shilang's words calmed my hot-blooded mind a little. Looking at the ruined building and the people gathering in the distance, I bit my lip and looked at him.
"It's not appropriate for me to interfere in the battle between monsters. Someone needs to report this situation back to the captain."
I know this, otherwise he wouldn't have held back just now.
"So if a fight breaks out later, you'll be on your own."
………Eh?
He raised an eyebrow, "Have you forgotten again that you're no longer a Death God?"
Oh! "Ahem! Well, I'm used to it. Sorry, you know."
He was amused by me and waved his hand to retract the chains tied to the ice. "Also, I will explain that matter to Kyōraku as well, don't worry."
After saying that, the boy turned around and used instant step, and disappeared in front of Qianliang and me in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? He really just left like that?"
"What else? By the way, where is Saburo now?"
"Is that what you care about?" He glared at me, hesitated for a few seconds, and scratched his hair helplessly. "It's in Tokyo. Arakienji knows about it, right?"
I took out my phone and entered the address into the map as he said. "I found it. Thank you!"
I thanked Qianliang and turned to run in the direction indicated by the map cursor. Saburo was still quite a distance from where Black Rose and the monster were fighting. Even with instant step, it would take ten minutes to reach him.
Although it is impossible for the monsters to focus on protecting each other and just leave them there waiting for the enemy to come, I am still worried.
The wind was whistling in my ears, and I simulated many scenes of seeing Saburo in my mind, but when I stood on the land of Arakienji and felt the collision of miasma and spiritual power, I was still shocked.
The roar of the monster was drowned out by the explosion. In the firelight, I saw the patriarch of the Bai Baihe family, whom I had met just a few days ago, and two other unfamiliar faces.
The man surrounded by dark blue flames had furry ears and several long tails behind him. He was obviously the legendary fox demon.
As for the other man, he was shirtless, holding a long sword and killing monsters, his red hair flying with his movements.
I saw a pair of horns on the man's head. At this moment, he seemed to notice something, stopped and looked in my direction.
A red-haired ghost with silver eyes.
My heart skipped a beat.
"...Saburo?"
No, that's not right, that's not my brother.
The red-haired man frowned: "You..."
Suddenly, his eyes widened and his body stiffened uncontrollably.
"Damn it... that little brat...!"
A strange flame ignited around the red-haired ghost, and a very familiar knot appeared around his neck. At the same time, his body shrank rapidly, his hair shortened, and his horns disappeared.
Saburo appeared before me.
"elder brother!"
At that moment, the out-of-control monster rushed towards the boy. I gritted my teeth, drew my Zanpakutō, and used Shunpo to cut it off. Then, just before Saburo lost consciousness and fell to the ground, I successfully caught his body.
At this point, the riots in Tokyo tonight officially came to an end.
The head of the Bai Baihe family happened to see me killing the monster at the last moment, and now I was directly locked on.
If Qianliangjun hadn't come back to explain, I might still be regarded as a potential enemy by the other party.
"I didn't expect you to really be the God of Death."
"Have you suspected me for a long time?"
The blond youth retracted his wings, which had been spread out during the battle, and frowned. "I had some suspicions last time at the hospital. The main reason was that the underworld messenger had always kept to himself and would not interfere in the affairs of the demon world. I never thought it was true."
Hmm, it seems the title of King of the Demon Realm is not for nothing. So, was it because he noticed something was wrong with me that he left last time?
Saburo is still unconscious, and we are now sitting in the izakaya.
He seemed to have mentioned to me before that there was an interesting izakaya in Arae-enji, and a famous clothing store downstairs. Who would have thought this was the monster's headquarters?
"hehe……"
I heard a soft laugh and looked over to find that it was the fox demon.
He had changed his appearance, transforming from the tall, handsome man he had been in battle to a fashionable, purple-haired young man. For some reason, he was looking at me and smiling.
"hello."
Ah, say hello to me.
"Hello, what's up?"
I remember Mr. Bai Baihe just mentioned what this fox was, one of the four giants? Its name is Konnosuke, and it's friends with the red-haired demon who occupies Saburo's body.
"Yeah, I do." The fox demon's face was a little pale due to the injury, but her expression was very natural. "I thought of something funny and laughed unconsciously. It's true... sometimes life is even more dramatic than drama."
"...?" I understood each word, but why didn't I understand the whole thing? I did agree with his last sentence, though. "Drama originates from life."
Oh yeah, one more thing.
"Mr. Qianliang."
"Hmm? What's wrong, little sister?"
"So what exactly is NTR?"
The scene became quiet again.
Okay, I think I know this isn't a good word.
Miss Mayako, who had a long braid, covered her mouth with her hands and glared at Mr. Senryo: "Senryo, you, said this to Saburo's sister?"
I saw murderous intent in the beauty's eyes.
"No, it wasn't me! It was Black Rose!" The cat demon still maintained his human form, but I could already see both of his tails explode. "Anyway, it wasn't me who said that!! I told him not to say it!"
Then the pressure shifted to Bai Baihei's family. I saw Mr. Bai Baihei holding his forehead with his hand, while his sister touched her cheek with her hand and said softly, "Huh? Did Xiao Hei say that? Oh, this is really... Xiao Yan, can you tell me what happened? I am also Xiao Hei's master."
Killing intent, I could feel it. Did I do something bad to Mr. Black Rose?
After I recounted to them the story of my previous encounter with Jixiang, everyone had different expressions.
"Well, when we first discovered your existence, we did have this concern." Mr. Bai Baihe cleared his throat, "But if you were the God of Death, the situation would be different."
"Bishamon isn't crazy enough to want to provoke the God of Death."
Bishamon, the culprit of this monster rebellion and the creator of Zone-00. He is also the leader of the Tengu and one of the strongest monsters in the past.
For the demon world, this seems to be a disturbance at the level of civil unrest.
"As for NTR, uh, well... how, how should I put it——"
Then, for some reason, the task of explaining this word was thrown to Mr. Senryo by Miss Mayako. Now he was speechless and scratching his ears and cheeks, unable to utter a complete word for a long time.
"If you feel embarrassed, I'll just check it on my phone."
"No! No, no, no, at least not now. Let me think about it. Just, you know, stealing someone's love, that's what I mean."
"Oh~"
"That seems to be the meaning."
"Hmph, it's like stealing someone's love, that's about right."
Although I think everyone's attitude is a bit subtle, but I feel that Mr. Qianliang is about to die, forget it, let's give him some face.
"Okay, that's all for this question! It's our turn now." Mr. Bai Baihe walked past Senryo-kun, who was already sobbing and holding his head, and came to the sofa where Saburo and I were sitting. "How could you, a human, be a god of death? And how could you be related to the Shinsengumi?"
Well, you can’t escape the consequences. I knew they would keep harping on this issue.
"Well, how should I put it..."
After thinking about it for a while, I decided not to hide it.
"Do you believe in resurrection from the dead?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: It’s hilarious, don’t look at Senryo like that, he is actually a deeply affectionate person, he and Mayako are lovers, and he is a pretty good person (Hey
Sanlang became a ghost because he was possessed by another being before. When he was about to kill the fox, Bai Baihe chopped off his head.
Finally, don't doubt it, Homura really doesn't know what NTR is. Tou won't tell her! She was still young in Soul Society and there was no such thing back then!
